Declaration in support of the “WEEK OF GLOBAL STRUGGLE FOR THE LIBERATION OF PATISHTÁN AND SÁNTIZ LÓPEZ: BRINGING DOWN THE PRISON WALLS”

“We, the undersigned, representing the groups listed below, on Saturday April 21st 2012, when gathered at Bradford, England for a meeting of the UK Zapatista Solidarity Network, agreed to offer our support to the “WEEK OF GLOBAL STRUGGLE FOR THE LIBERATION OF PATISHTÁN AND SÁNTIZ LÓPEZ: BRINGING DOWN THE PRISON WALLS” which has been convoked by our brothers and sisters from the Movement for Justice in El Barrio, The Other Campaign New York.

This week is to take place from Tuesday, May 15 to Tuesday May 22 of this year, and in our different groups we will be organising different actions in support of the immediate release of these two political prisoners, who are symbolic of the many people unjustly imprisoned, apparently for crimes they have not committed, but in reality for their political convictions.

As their first step in endorsing the campaign, the Network has written a letter which it will be sending to Felipe Calderón, President of the Mexican Republic, demanding justice for the two prisoners.”
